Human rights activist and former Kaduna State Senator, Shehu Sani, has thrown his weight behind the strike action proposed by organised labour.
The NLC and the Trade Union of Nigeria, (TUC) recently declared a nationwide strike to protest the brutalisation of NLC President, Joe Ajaero.
The physically assaulted on Ajaero by suspected political thugs occurred in Owerri, the Imo State capital, last week, while they were organising a protest against the state government.
Reacting to the impending strike by NLC and TUC, Shehu Sani, took to his official X handle (formerly Twitter) to back the decision of the organized labour.

According to the former lawmaker, the upcoming industrial action will send a clear message to those behind the attack on Ajaero.
He also compared what transpired in Imo State to the attack on EndSARS protesters in Abuja.
Speaking via his social media page, he tweeted: “No responsible trade union will fold its arms and see its leaders brutalised without a massive response.
“The strike action will send a clear message to those who want to toe this path. Using political thugs to disrupt protests and maltreat protesters is unacceptable; Abuja EndSARS organisers can remember how they were attacked at CBN Headquarters.”
